Logic module purpose?

yeah they are mad that is said most digital modules are a ripoff and they should just use a computer. I try to ignore it now, it's all my posts. Honestly I'm starting to see the benefit of some digital modules, although I still refuse to get a digital vco, vcf, or most DSP.tioJim wrote:I don't understand the hostility.

If not, then ugh ... this isn't a very nice place to be :(

what do you use with 166 in a patch wise?brandonlogic wrote:logic is useful as an alternative do using vac's and mixers for simple functions like this:
Only sending triggers out when a gate is high.
Muting triggers when a gate is high.
Mixing triggers/gates from different sources.
i love my doepfer a 166. really useful to have in the rack.

I use Pam’s workout and time wizzard with it, and anything that outputs gates, like Turing machine pulses. I imagine I’ll use it with mutable marbles I’m picking up too.

I'd say take a look at http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a166_man.pdfzoogoo wrote:what do you use with 166 in a patch wise?brandonlogic wrote:logic is useful as an alternative do using vac's and mixers for simple functions like this:

And while you are there, a lot of the Doepfer modules have very nice manuals. There are worse places to start learning about Eurorack. Might be due to the fact that Doepfer started it all ...

Something I used a logic module for the other day:
Used two manual triggers from Pressure points, where one was toggling a flipflop (intellijel) OR-combined (intellijel spock but you can use whatever) with the other, to produce a CDJ-ish cue/play/pause type interaction, when sent to Pamela's new workout, to be able to easier sync my modular to other music live.
I really end up using it in a lot of patches, do not underestimate also getting a flipflop module, one that ideally can be used to quantize (rythmically) gates to other gates

Logic does not have to be digital. The circuit doesn't even have to be electronic. We've got examples of both in eurorack already.
I like to think that with the right modules I could transform my eurorack into an Apollo era re-entry guidance computer. All we need is a punch card reader, probably someone in the DIY section has already made one.

At this point the distinction is meaningless when it comes to logic modules. They do the job, and that's all that matters.bkbirge wrote:Logic does not have to be digital. The circuit doesn't even have to be electronic. We've got examples of both in eurorack already.

it's that you've positioned yourself in the past to have authoritative knowledge, but the reality is that you do not know what you are talking about. you spread false information, which influences other newcomers, and then you balk at people's responses when they're trying to be helpful.
you have poor forum etiquette and you post every little thought you have without first using the search function... and then you abandon that thread and ignore everyone's helpful advice when you have a new flight of fancy.
XAOC has said they're working on some new stuff for their Leibniz Binary Subsystem (which is, so far, Drezno and Lipsk). I'm curious to see what it is. Seems like there's a lot of possibility for some unique things in building on what they have.MrsWedge wrote:Has anyone ever made an ALU module for Euro rack?
I've been using 2 in my homemade system now for a few weeks. Wild stuff

I use them for the same things you would use conditional statements in a programing language. I often use them to prevent envelopes from retriggering until they have completed their cycle. Currently I have a patch with a random stream of triggers in one input, a gate from one step of a Pressure Points into another input - I can stop and start the stream of triggers any time I want. Combining triggers or gates, conditional tests, conditional branching.
